A shocking moment from South Korean YouTuber Shin, known as AngryKoreanGamer, has grabbed the world's attention for all the wrong reasons. A video from his livestream is going viral everywhere, showing a friend getting trapped in a chokehold until he collapses live on camera, sparking anger and serious worries about risky stunts on online streams. The clip shows a shirtless man standing in front of the camera as one of AngryKoreanGamer’s associates wraps his arm tightly around the man’s neck. A countdown timer is ticking on screen. With every second, the chokehold gets tighter, and the man begins to struggle for breath. Viewers saw the man visibly short of breath and tapping out in distress. But shockingly, the hold was only released just before the timer ran out—way too late, as the man had already gone limp. As the man slumped forward unconscious, he began to convulse, causing real concern among people in the room. Moments after, the man woke up—but what stunned viewers the most was the reaction from AngryKoreanGamer. Instead of helping or stopping the stream, he burst out laughing loudly! This reaction added fuel to the fire online. The disturbing clips were shared on Reddit’s r/LivestreamFail, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter), racking up millions of views in hours. Many called the stunt “reckless” and “life-threatening,” demanding the YouTuber and his group be held accountable. People online compared this to the tragic story of French YouTuber Jean Pormanove, who died earlier this year after alleged livestream abuse. Even though the man survived this incident, fans say streaming has crossed a dangerous line, chasing views at any cost. What was supposed to be a ‘shocking stunt’ turned into a viral warning: livestreaming can be fun, but some moments are simply too risky. This incident may become one of the biggest livestream disasters of 2025, reminding everyone that some online thrills come with real dangers.
